7. Google AI states: The Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) beacon (AN/PRQ-7) is highly precise, typically providing location accuracy better than 100 meters within one minute of activation. It utilizes military-grade, precision-code GPS to offer superior accuracy and security compared to commercial GPS systems.
The beacon can transmit encrypted data, including GPS coordinates, worldwide to rescue coordination centers via over-the-horizon (OTH) military satellites. This means it is not limited to a specific number of miles for initial alerting.
Why didn't the Combat Survivor Evader Locator beacon give the airman's precise location?
